Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up when this person came in.
The person who came here was tall, at least about 1.5 meters tall, and he definitely stood out in this era.
He is tall, with long arms and legs and broad shoulders, which makes the blue official uniform on his body look a bit tight, but it highlights the strong lines of his body.
Although this man was wearing official robes, he looked like a warrior. He also walked very fast. From the gate of Fengtian Palace to the front of the imperial bank, which was more than twenty steps away, he seemed to have walked in just a few steps.
When he got closer, Zhu Yunxi could see his face clearly.
handsome guy!
His face is angular and angular, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a high nose bridge. He seems to be of mixed race. He is about thirty years old, which is the best time for a man. His brows are full of resoluteness and he has a thick beard on his chin.
"My lord, the Ministry of Rites has given me a request. Tie Xuan is here to see Your Majesty!"
The voice he spoke was also very loud and resounding.
"Get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly, "This is the emperor's direct grandson, King Wu."
"I have met His Highness King Wu!"
Remember https://m in one second.
"Please get up quickly!" Zhu Yunxi gave him some help and said politely.
Then the minister named Tie Xuan stood up and stood next to Jie Jin. He was tall, standing about a head and a half taller than Jie Jin. The latter looked up at his neck, lowered his head a little lonely, and then moved to the side.
Move, distance yourself.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Zhu Yunxi was overjoyed. First there was the first talented man of the Ming Dynasty, and now he is a loyal minister through the ages. These two will be his right-hand men from now on, the second general of Hengha.
Tie Xuan, like Fang Xiaoru, is the most honest minister praised by later generations.
But in fact, he is even better than Fang Xiaoru, because not only does he have integrity, he is also a capable minister and a scholar who can fight.
After Zhu Di raised an army to quell the war, Li Jinglong was ordered by Emperor Jian to conquer, and Tie Xuan served as a minister to supervise the transportation of food and fodder for the army.
But when the Ming God of War met the Yongle Emperor like Huo Qubing, he ended up abandoning his armor. Half a million troops were chased by others and ran wildly. Seeing that Zhu Di's troops were about to occupy the northern city of Jinan, Tie Xuan, a scholar,
Gather a group of stragglers, organize the people, and begin to defend the city.
His military talent was revealed in this battle. It was at the time when Lien Chan and Lianjie's morale was high that Zhu Di's Northern Army launched a forceful attack on Jinan with its elite Ming Dynasty northern border troops and Jurchen Mongolian warriors beyond the Great Wall.
But this attack lasted three months. Within three months, Zhu Di suffered countless casualties, and the remaining soldiers were defeated and Jinan, who was defending the city, remained unmoved.
Zhu Di was furious, mobilized all the artillery from the rear, and began to bombard the city wall of Jinan. Seeing that Jinan was in danger, Tie Xuan showed his unusual side at the critical moment.
Tie Xuan hung the portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, on the city wall of Jinan.
And he shouted to Zhu Di in a pure old Beijing accent, "Your father is here, you have the guts to bombard him!"
The defeat in Jinan was one of the few defeats in the life of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di.
Later, Zhu Di followed Yao Guangxiao's suggestion and abandoned the division in Jinan, Shandong, and returned to Peiping. When Tie Xuan saw that he was gone, he followed him to regain the lost territory and was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of War.
Later, Zhu Di detoured to the southeast of the mountain and captured Yingtian Mansion. After ascending to the throne, he remembered the shame and humiliation and led his army to the north again.
This time Zhu Di had the title of emperor, and the city of Jinan was defeated. However, Tie Xuan still led troops loyal to Jian, fought in various places, and was eventually captured in Huainan. (There was a stain on Zhu Di in this battle, that is, he was killed in Hebei area.
Many people vented their anger)
Although Zhu Di hated Tie Xuan, he admired him deeply and wanted to use him for his own purposes. However, from the beginning to the end, Tie Xuan did not kneel down to worship Yongle. Instead, he cursed the rebellious ministers and traitors, and ruined half of the country for his own selfish desires, causing all lives to suffer.
Zhu Di's temper inherited Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness, and was even more cruel.
He asked someone to cook a pot of oil and told Tie Xuan that if you don't worship me, I will fry you into ashes.
Tie Xuan's expression did not change and he told Zhu Di that he would come if he had the guts.
Zhu Di was so angry that he had Tie Xuan's ears and nose cut off and stuffed into his mouth. He asked loudly how it tasted.
Tie Xuan said an eternal saying that is comparable to Fang Xiaoru's execution of ten clans, so why not be willing to sacrifice the flesh of a loyal minister and a filial son?
How could the meat of a loyal minister and filial son not be delicious?
Zhu Di was furious and executed him Ling Chi.
This kind of loyalty is not as heroic and fierce as Fang Xiaoru's, but it is full of staunch iron bones. From the beginning to the end, Tie Xuan did not refuse with righteous words, let alone questioned loudly with reference to scriptures. He even did not even look at Zhu Di.
There is always a contemptuous smile on the corner of the mouth.
From the very beginning, Tie Xuan had a firm belief in his heart that he would kill for justice and sacrifice his life for justice.
He is a minister, but his bones are harder than most people in the world.
He showed his loyalty without words but with actions.
He did not compose poems or speeches, did not sing tragically, and did not make heroic speeches. He used the simplest and simplest actions to interpret the meaning of a scholar and his loyalty.
Moved by this kind of loyalty, although Zhu Di killed him, he did not kill his ten clans. His elderly parents were exiled to Hainan, the eldest son was sent to the army, the second son was made a slave, and the two women were made officials in the Jiaofangsi
Prostitute, Zhu Di did not let his family's bloodline be cut off.
However, his two daughters inherited their father's staunchness and refused to be humiliated in the Jiaofangsi, focusing on their own thoughts. After Zhu Di heard about it, he let them go with a sigh and betrothed them to privileged scholars.
Tie Xuan's loyalty is a kind of dull and not impassioned loyalty, but the more simple it is, the more rare it is. His loyalty is constantly appreciated by future generations.
Even in the Qing Dynasty, emperors outside the Great Wall continued to use him as a positive example of loyalty. Emperor Qianlong personally gave him the posthumous title of Zhongding and ordered the Shandong Salt Transport Envoy A Lin to build the Tiegong Temple. In later generations, it was a famous tourist attraction in Jinan.
Attractions.
Hundreds of years later, people in Jinan and even Shandong regarded him as a god like a city god. Although Tiexuan was not well-known at this time, he was very prudent in his affairs in court and was deeply loved by Zhu Yuanzhang.
The character Tie Xuan and the key stone were given by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.
"Grandpa Huang!" Zhu Yunxi bowed and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang, "Thank you, grandson, for choosing a real hero for your grandson!"
This thank you is a thank you from the bottom of my heart. Liu Sanwu and Fang Xiaoru, two upright scholars, are his teachers. Talented men like Xie Jin and loyal and capable ministers like Tie Xuan will be his think tanks in the future.
Such a lineup can be called luxurious. If Zhu Yunxi cannot be a good emperor in the future, it will be a waste of Zhu Yuanzhang's hard work.
"Dingshi, our eldest grandson has heard of you!" Zhu Yuanzhang grinned.
A smile appeared on Tie Xuan's dull face, while Xie Jin looked at him, obviously dissatisfied.
"I'm scared!" Tie Xuan said.
"You are now an official in the Ministry of Etiquette. We have wronged you. How about you become an official for our eldest grandson, King Wu?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a smile.
"You have your destiny, I dare not resign!" Tie Xuan said sternly, lifted up his robe, and solemnly said to Zhu Yunxi, "I have met His Highness the King of Wu!"
"Please get up quickly!" Zhu Yunxi quickly smiled and helped him up, looking at Xie Jin and Tie Xuan. One was Zhang Wushuang and the other was Wu Shuangquan. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"Well..." Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"
The two of them were slightly stunned, and Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon throne couldn't help but smile.
Outside the palace, Pu Bucheng shouted as if he was singing, "King Wu delivers the meal!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson, whose eyes were full of eagerness for talents, and thought to himself, "Back then, when we first met Liu Ji, we also said the same thing!"
